I only separate "halftoning" and "dithering" chronologically
(traditionally), as in "halftone" is the original analog process, and
"dithering" is the method by which halftoning is digitally
implimented. I don't have a problem with QMS or Epson having
"halftone" settings ... it probably best describes the resulting
"effect" of the setting ... i.e., imitating traditional halftoning.
... and I don't have references for "dithering" ... I use it is a
general term for putting discrete dots together ... for whatever
purpose.
